304: The spearhead was aimed directly at Luo Baiya.
Leng Yuekui's Primordial Spirit emitted an even more brilliant and profound icy-blue light than before,
faintly tinged with a hint of pale gold. Its aura was perfectly round and flawless, even surpassing its state after Undergoing Tribulation!
Yao Delong slowly withdrew his Divine Thought and primal energy, his hands leaving Leng Yuekui's back.
His face was slightly pale, and fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead.
The drastic improvement of his Divine Soul also came with immense consumption.
But his eyes were as bright as stars, filled with excitement!
Leng Yuekui slowly opened her eyes.
Those clear, cold eyes now seemed to contain billions of years of ice and the warmth of a newborn sun, complex and difficult to fathom.
On her exquisite face, the blush had not completely faded, adding a breathtaking hint of allure.
She felt the unprecedented Perfection and power of her Primordial Spirit,
as well as the profound mystery of creation integrated into her Origin, her heart filled with unparalleled shock.
She turned around and looked at Yao Delong, whose face was slightly pale but whose eyes were bright. Her crimson lips parted slightly,
her voice carrying a softness and... an unusual tone that even she hadn't noticed: "Delong, you..."
Before she could finish, Yao Delong had already shaken his head. Although his face was slightly pale, his eyes remained as bright as stars:
"Revered Master, rest assured, Disciple is fine. It's just that my primal energy and Divine Thought were overly consumed. I'll recover after a short period of adjustment."
Healing a Void Refining Great Expert across two major Realms, even with the effects of Yin and Yang complementarity and the profound wonders of creation,
was a huge burden for Yao Delong.
Fortunately, the results were remarkable. Not only did Revered Master's Primordial Spirit fully recover,
but his own Divine Soul also benefited from the misfortune, leaping to the strength of the Late Nascent Soul Stage!
Leng Yuekui looked at her Disciple's slightly fatigued but steady and resolute face, and the unusual feeling in her heart intensified. She nodded slightly:
"Since that's the case, you should recuperate in this quiet room."
With a gentle wave of her jade hand, an invisible Restriction, carrying the pressure of Void Refining, instantly enveloped the entire quiet room, ensuring no one could disturb him.
"This Revered Master will first go to Sect Head Senior Brother's place."
Leng Yuekui's voice returned to its usual coolness, but a sharp, cold glint appeared in the depths of her eyes.
"Today's wood evil qi sneak attack was definitely not an accident!
We must investigate thoroughly and root out this cancerous growth hidden within the Sect!"
"Disciple understands."
Yao Delong nodded, said no more, and sat cross-legged.
He took out a few Medicinal Pills to restore primal energy, consumed them, closed his eyes, and began to circulate the Nine Yang Heaven Burning Art.
The rich Spiritual Qi around him rapidly poured into his Dantian, quickly replenishing the consumption.
In his Sea of Consciousness, the Divine Thought of the Late Nascent Soul Stage also slowly calmed and stabilized like a tide.
Leng Yuekui took one last deep look at Yao Delong, who had entered a state of deep recuperation, then her figure flickered and disappeared as if merging into the Void Realm.
Her figure flickered and disappeared as if merging into the Void Realm.
Dragon Head Peak, main hall.
Sect Head White Cloud Master was sitting on a high platform, dealing with mountains of Sect scrolls.
His aura was as deep as the sea, and his brows were slightly furrowed at this moment, clearly troubled by the events at Luoxia Peak today.
Leng Yuekui had just made a Breakthrough, and her Primordial Spirit was injured. She should have been in seclusion to consolidate her Realm, so why would she come to him so quickly?
"Junior Sister, come in." White Cloud Master put down the Jade Slip in his hand, his voice gentle yet penetrating.
The hall door opened silently, and Leng Yuekui's cold and solitary figure stepped inside.
She did not bow, merely nodded slightly, then walked directly to the jade seat reserved for her and sat down.
The temperature of the entire hall seemed to drop a few degrees with her arrival.
White Cloud Master's gaze fell on Leng Yuekui, and a hint of unconcealable astonishment flashed in his eyes!
Half a day ago, he clearly sensed that Leng Yuekui's Primordial Spirit was injured and her aura unstable.
But at this moment, his Junior Sister's Primordial Spirit aura was not only perfectly round and flawless,
but even more profound and vast than when she had just successfully Undergone Tribulation, faintly revealing an indescribably mysterious vitality!
That injury had actually completely healed? Even her Realm was as stable as if it had been polished for several months!
"Junior Sister... you..." White Cloud Master was at a loss for words.
"Senior Brother needn't be surprised. A minor injury, it's nothing."
Leng Yuekui's tone was calm, as if discussing a trivial matter, and she went straight to the point,
"I came here for two reasons. First, regarding the wood evil qi that launched a sneak attack during my Undergoing Tribulation today.
This evil qi is strange, containing pure wood-attribute heaven and earth power. The practitioner's cultivation is at least Late Stage Soul Transformation, or even Void Refining.
There may be a Devil Sect mole lurking among the Sect's high-ranking members!"
White Cloud Master's expression became solemn, and he reined in his surprise, saying in a deep voice:
"Junior Sister's concerns are precisely my worries.
The Sect has long been secretly investigating traces of devils, but the opponent is deeply hidden and uses clever methods, so we haven't been able to root them out.
This time in the God Burial Abyss Secret Realm, Martial Nephew Yao exposing Luo Tianying, that Devil Sect mole, is already a major clue.
Luo Tianying is Luo Baiya's Personal Disciple. After the incident, I immediately used a secret method to investigate Luo Baiya.
His body's primal energy is pure, and his Cultivation Technique is indeed our Sect's orthodox 'Yi Wood Eternal Spring Art,' with no signs of Devilish Qi contamination."
He paused, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes:
"However, today you were attacked during your Undergoing Tribulation, and that wood evil qi was pure and immense.
Within the Sect, only three people can mobilize such a degree of wood-attribute heaven and earth power:
Luo Baiya of Spirit Plant Peak, Dan Chenzi of Pill Cloud Peak, and Liu Yue of Spirit Water Peak. Among them, Luo Baiya's suspicion is... the greatest!"
Leng Yuekui's heart tightened slightly. Yao Delong's guess actually coincided with Sect Head Senior Brother's!
Her clear, cold gaze grew even colder: "Senior Brother Luo's cultivation is profound. He reached Void Refining many years ago, and now he is probably even stronger than before.
Within the Sect, besides the Grand Elders in death seclusion, those who can steadily defeat him are few and far between."
"That's right." White Cloud Master nodded, a fierce look flashing in his eyes.
"I have already ordered him to be confined to Spirit Plant Peak, not to leave without permission, under the pretext of 'cooperating with the investigation of Luo Tianying's matter'.
At the same time, I have arranged for two Elders from the 'Shadow Guard' who are most skilled in tracking and stealth to monitor his every move day and night!
As long as he makes the slightest unusual move and reveals a flaw, he will not be able to escape!"
Leng Yuekui nodded slightly, indicating her approval of the Sect Head's arrangements.
Then, she changed the subject, her tone carrying an undeniable chill:
"This is the first matter. Second, I am here to seek justice for my Disciple, Yao Delong!"
Upon hearing this, White Cloud Master felt a headache coming on.
Meng Bi was easy to deal with; a marquis's heir from a mundane Dynasty was nothing but an ant before a behemoth like the Yin Yang Sect.
But Xiao Chen... he was not only a prince of the Ba Xia Dynasty, but also the only son of Mo Qingxuan, the Hall Master of Dharma Transmission of the Moyang Sect!
Although the Moyang Sect's strength was slightly inferior to the Yin Yang Sect's, it was still a top-tier major Sect in the Eastern Region.
The Hall Master of Dharma Transmission held a high position of power. If this matter was not handled well, it could easily lead to conflict between the two Sects!
"Junior Sister, this matter..." White Cloud Master tried to change the subject,
"Xiao Chen's identity is special, involving the Moyang Sect. We need to consider this carefully..."
"Senior Brother!"
Leng Yuekui's voice suddenly rose, and the temperature of the entire hall plummeted. Fine ice crystals even condensed on the ground.
"My Luoxia Peak Disciples were ambushed and almost killed by fellow Disciples colluding with external Elders within the Secret Realm!
If Delong hadn't fought to protect them, Clear Snow and the others would have already perished!
How can such a great vendetta be tolerated because of the opponent's identity?
That Meng Bi, as a fellow Disciple, betrayed the Sect, colluded with external enemies, and harmed fellow Disciples. His crime is unforgivable!
This scoundrel must be handed over to my Luoxia Peak for disposal!"
